Miserly London businessman Ebenezer Scrooge is visited
on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his dead business partner Marley, who
warns him that three more ghosts will appear during the night trying
to show Scrooge the error of his ways. As the night wears on, he's visited
by the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the
Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. But will even they be enough to soften
old Scrooge's heart?
